I’ve spent some time ruminating about this question – why does it happen… Scenario A) A company has a great product, a large marketing budget, hires salespeople or distributors, but come up woefully short on sales year to year. Scenario B) Some upstart company (usually using a substandard website from a single home computer), has […]

Have you ever spent time ruminating about your mistakes? Focusing on how you messed up, or worse, lost something near and dear because a personal mistake? The moment is past, but you are still jailer, judge and jury. You mete out punishment daily, and fully expect the world to offer the same. Inviting failure back […]

Happy Sunday readers, I’ve been thinking about Apollo 13 recently. Rent the movie for the complete story.

Want to know what makes successful internet entrepreneurs…well, successful? Without paraphrasing or stealing other writers thunder I’ve come to realize a few things. Successful people (SP’s) know what they want to accomplish. Not a new concept, Dr. Stephen Covey talked about this idea in “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Yet most people don’t know […]
